| Kind | Select style of regulator, either 78xx or LM317 |
| Analyze/Design | Design mode will ask for a minimum number of parameters and then calculate/estimate everything else. Analyze is used to play with/optimize a design |
| C1 | Filter capacitor |
| Vout | Required output voltager, the actuel output voltage can depend on circuit |
| R1/R2 | These resistor defines output voltage on LM317 style regulators |
| ILoad | Max. load on regulator output |
| F | Mains frequence, if no values is specified 50Hz is assumed |
| Vtu | Transformer unloaded output voltage |
| Vtl | Transformer output voltage when loaded with It |
| It | Transformer rated output current |
| Temp | Temperature around IC, 40 °C is assumed when no value is specified |
| HS | Heatsink in K/W |
| IC | Regulator IC, selected from an internal database |
| Oscilioscope | When checked a page with calculated waveforms is shown |
| Warnings | Some conditions may give a warning, this usual means that some of the components must be changed |
| Vout | Actual output voltage, may not match requested voltage exactly for LM317 style regulators |
| R1/R2 | Voltage definition resistors |
| C1 | Filter capacitor |
| C2 | Output capacitor, recommend value from datasheet is shown |
| D | Possible rectifier to use, many other can be used |
| IC | Regulator IC. If a manufactur is listed, then specification from that manufactur is used |
| IC Heatsink max. | Regulator IC needs a heatsink, the calculated value is the max. K/W value that can be used, a lower value is recommended. |
| Trafo rms current | Estimated RMS current from transformator |
| Trafo impedance | Estimated output impedance of tranformator, calculated as (Vtu-Vtl)/It |
| Diode peek current (Each cycle) | Estimated. min. peek current rating of diode |
| Diode peek current (At turn on) | Estimated min. on-time peek current rating of diode |
| C1 voltage | Estimated voltage on C1 at max. load |
| IC temperatur | Estimated IC temperature at max. load |
| Power input | Estimated power used in circuit, not including trafo standby use |
| Power loss in trafo | Estimated power loss in trafo excluding standby power |
| Power loss in bridge | Estimated power loss in bridge |
| Power loss in IC | Estimated power loss in IC regulator |
| Power to load | Power delivered to load |
| Efficiency | Estimated efficiency of the power supply at max. load |
